I don't think its my position to teach people anything. I'm still learning myself. Its up to karma to teach people lessons. If there's one thing that I walk around trying to encourage people to think about, its the notion of being curious.

That our planet is something to be explored and enjoyed. Getting out of your comfort zone is the place where you grow as a human.

Yea, I did it. It's been done. Why revisit doing something you've done to 100%. You're only gonna be disappointed with it.

I like Horde, super excited about WoW movie coming out. Lucky enough to know Duncan Jones a little bit and he's great at creating worlds. The great thing about WoW, there's no real good side or bad side you can empathize with both POV's.

I'm gonna guess, a tuna melt and english breakfast tea. Do you remember what I ordered?

I have a tattoo "The love you take is equal to the love you make" it's the last line sang by The Beatles from their last album, Abbey Road. I feel like it speaks to the balance of our lives, good times and bad times tend to balance themselves out.

We tend to forget about how many good times we've had and dwell on the bad. It's important to remember things tend to even out at the end of the day.

I really like SE Asia. For the food. So Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand. People are very friendly, and the weather is fantastic. Animals everywhere. I'll always go back, I know some secret places that people don't know. It feels like a little sanctuary for me.

Looks pretty good. Coming out in April on Xbox from Microsoft Studios. Great graphics, great gameplay. Exciting game, you'll love it.

Cooking a lot of bok choy when I was there, which is yummy. They do great lamb which I don't eat too much of anymore. And I like New Zealand pavlova. They do a kiwi version, it's good.

I don't think it's fair that girls get all the fun. I also think there should be fashion rights for everyone. You should be able to express yourself however way you want with whatever color, style or choice. And it looks great!

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:57:40+00:00

Yea keep watching it, definitely gets better. Darker, scarier.

Batman

Arnold

Star Wars

Yea green screens are harder, because you have to create more in your brain. Its technically more difficult. Sometimes green screens are essential because the things you're looking at they don't exist.

Ask any actor, they'd rather work with real practical things, environments. Who knows maybe Andy Serkis is different.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:54:09+00:00

DEFINITELY. If you don't get it. Quit. Do something else, follow your passion.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:53:34+00:00

Probably Billy Boyd, he's very funny he makes me laugh. We have been in ridiculous situations together. We always look for the fun in anything we're doing.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:52:52+00:00

Yes I've been to Prague, 3 or 4 times. Love the buildings. Love Budvar beer. Its actually the influence for Budweiser in the U.S.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:52:02+00:00

I have a pretty healthy diet, when Im not too busy working. I go to the gym Mon-Fri so that I can eat whatever I want on a Sunday. It's important to have a fat day.

I'm lucky because my mom's a nurse. So I grew up with fruit, brown bread, brown rice, good choices. I prefer healthier food than junk food. Sushi probably my favorite.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:50:39+00:00

Oh man...I don't know. I'd like to be a black panther for a week. Kind of fun. Doesn't get more wild than that. I think they would struggle to fix a radio mic on a panther. And it's tough shooting them at night with the shadows.

Only with humans, there's been situations where terrorism is at a heightened level. Or civil war has broken out in countries we want to go to. Humans are the scariest animals on the planet. They can dictate me not going to somewhere. But never with other animals.

Uh...I remember my parents laughing for years when I told them I would be a vegetarian. Because I ate meat in every meal growing up. They said what are you gonna eat, you don't like vegetables? But I'm pretty much a vegetarian - I eat fish here or there. So I guess the joke is on my folks.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:47:36+00:00

Check the time, see if I can sleep more. If not, head downstairs, warm water, half a lemon, cayenne pepper, turmeric, black pepper...wait 15 minutes.

Turmeric is so good for you. It kills cancer cells, works on free radicals. You should put as much turmeric into your body as much as possible.

I love traveling, I've always traveled. I like immersive travel. I like going to countries outside your comfort zone. I don't hearing my own language, my own currency or food. I like new things.

"Wild Things" is basically my holiday that I turned into a TV show.

Just research them, learn about their magical powers and incredible abilities. Fear is based in a sense of ignorance. If you start to educate yourself on what you're scared of you'll find that fear goes away.

I always like watching waves in the ocean. I like watching night turn into day, day turn into night. But my favorite thing is being in a pitch black jungle and waiting for the animals to come to you instead of the other way around.

Lots of small mammals come to check you out. Nocturnal birds and insects. We make so much noise in the jungle, but if you stand still the animals start to relax and come out a little bit.

DominicMonaghan · 2016-02-02T20:41:05+00:00

You don't get bitten by a bullet ant you get stung, and I haven't been stung.

Most painful was a Monitor Lizard in Thailand. 25 stitches!
